Comprehensive Analysis of <sup>13</sup>C<sub>6</sub> Glucose Fate in the Hypoxia-Tolerant Blind Mole Rat Skin Fibroblasts

The bioenergetics of the vast majority of terrestrial mammals evolved to consuming glucose (Glc) for energy production under regular atmosphere (about 21% oxygen). However, some vertebrate species, such as aquatic turtles, seals, naked mole rat, and blind mole rat, <i>Spalax</i>, have ad...
